Mobigrip "device leash" stupid iPhone accessory

Do you want "ongoing protection against damage from accidental falling?"

24 December 2008 9:42 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

Do you have problems holding on to your iPhone? Fed up of it just slipping out of your grasp all the time? Bored of gripping?

Then we have the answer for you, described as a "revolutionary new concept for holding handheld devices" Mobigrips "let your phone hold YOU for a change!"

A Macworld launch, rather than the 1 April launch it should be, the company behind the plastic add-on claims: "when properly attached Mobigrip provides you with ongoing protection against damage from accidental falling".

Not convinced? Us neither, but we're assured, "the benefits are obvious as soon as you try it for the first time". Hmmm.

  • If that little loop is elastic, they should re-name it the iPhone Launcher. It looks like it would first be annoying in your pocket and you could then give it an elastic-assisted launch across the room Posted by DaveyNC, US of A

  • gross, it looks like a condom stuck to the side of the iPhone. I like my pretty elastic girly looking hairbands - they work better to stick it to my ring like a huge honking iPhoneRing... can't be any stupider, and it's certainly a lot cheaper! Posted by MsDrPepper, US of A
  • Actually, I would kinda like something to attach a lanyard for my iPhone from, but did they have to make the attachment mounting so bulky? Posted by Tim G, Canada
